FSH (Follicle stimulating hormones) stimulates spermatogenesis by stimulating _ cells to complete the development of sperms

Correct answer: C. Sertoli

  • A. Leydig
  • B. Inhibin
  • C. Sertoli
  • D. TSH

Explanation

Option C is correct.FSH (Follicle stimulating hormones) stimulates spermatogenesis by stimulating Sertoli cells to complete the development of sperms. Sertoli cells are supporting cells that are found in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. They play a vital role in spermatogenesis, the process by which sperm cells are produced. FSH stimulates Sertoli cells to produce a number of factors that are essential for spermatogenesis, including: Androgen binding protein (ABP), which binds to testosterone and makes it available to developing sperm cells Growth factors, which promote the growth and development of sperm cells Inhibitin, which inhibits the production of FSH.Leydig cells are another type of cell that is found in the testes. They are responsible for producing testosterone, the male sex hormone. Testosterone is also essential for spermatogenesis, but it is produced in response to LH (luteinizing hormone), not FSH.Inhibin is a hormone that is produced by Sertoli cells. It inhibits the production of FSH and LH. This helps to ensure that the production of sperm cells is regulated.TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is a hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland. It stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are not involved in spermatogenesis.

About Reproduction

Human reproduction covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, fertilization, implantation and hormonal regulation. The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
